Cinetopia Film Festival

Mark your calendar! The eighth annual Cinetopia Film Festival kicks off a month earlier this year starting on Friday, May 10, 2019 and concludes on Sunday, May 19, 2019. Spanning ten days, Cinetopia brings films to local theatres and venues in the Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Detroit areas – representing the best feature-length dramas, comedies, and documentaries from the world’s best festivals, including Sundance, Cannes, Venice, Toronto, Berlin, SXSW and Tribeca.
This year also includes a new location and theatre – the Emagine Royal Oak Theatre located in the heart of downtown Royal Oak. This will bring the festival experience further into the Metro Detroit area. Previous venues included the Michigan Theater and State Theatre in Ann Arbor, the Arab American National Museum and The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, the Detroit Film Theatre, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Cinema Detroit and the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.
The Cinetopia Film Festival is an annual, curated festival in metro Detroit, featuring more than 50 of the best feature-length dramas, comedies, and documentaries from the world’s best film festivals (Sundance, Cannes, Venice, Toronto, Berlin, SXSW, Tribeca, and more). It takes place over the span of 10 days every spring at venues throughout the region. The festival is not submission-based; instead, the extensive festival program is selected by a team led by Indiewire Influencer Russ Collins from the nationally-renowned Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor. Created in 2011 for the people of Southeast Michigan, Cinetopia honors the rich heritage of cinematic culture and Michigan’s proud legacy of outstanding cinema artists through special pre- and post-film events, including presentations, discussion panels, and Q&A sessions with directors, writers, and actors.
